 I V Our chosen royalty! The climax was in December when we presented our Freshman Frolic. On Moving Up Day, Paul Bartholomew gave the class response as a warning to high school teachers that soon we boisterous pupils would be invading the old brick walls. As the curtain rose on Act II, the setting was the Sophomore class. After the long awaited moment, we capture Janet and A1 in the spotlight. WS HISTORY New students, teachers, and unfamiliar surround- ings confronted us. Many of us remained secure within the walls of Junior High. With Shirley Rog- ers as Editor-in-Chief of our Junior Jottings, the paper became more than just a working staff. Re- porters long remembered the Christmas caroling party and the spring pic- nic. Star Scott Werner rep- resented the pea green Frosh in the Drama Night production of Why the Chimes Rang.” Page 5

Page 4 As a class, we do not wish to be remembered for doing great things; we only hope that our efforts will be recalled as achievements. In the fall of 1951, we Seniors made our first stage debut in Act I of “You Are There.” As high school Freshmen, we entered the stage with trembling knees. Before! A, YOU ARE THERE How swiftly pass the years we most enjoy. So it has been as we review our past four years of ac- tivities, and “You Are There.” The happy days inside these walls have ended now; and we, proud and dignified Seniors, anxiously await the trials of the cold, cold world. Many Seniors have re- ceived much greater hon- ors than we; yet, for most of us, these years have been productive ones. After! SOME PROM VIEWS West Point has nothing on us!

c YV YOU ARE THERE A fine display of Soph f lop profits! - Act II No! That’s not the mom- bo! — Act II Joe and Tina make a sale! — Act IV The Stars Will Remember our Sophomore Hop, and so will we Seniors, who spent long hours tracing little silver stars and notes. As Act III appeared, the au- dience focused its attention on the long-awaited Junior Prom. Queen Janet Brownlee and he escort, Albert Putnam, captured the limelight as they led our royalty in the Grand March. Most of us were to be in Senior High for our first year. Our problems seemed grave ones, and graduation seemed the only solution. Even this might take us longer than the Board of Education had antici- pated. Early in this year our talented class- mates participated in the Open House pre- sentation of George Washington Slept Here.” The stars of Act II soon became apparent. President Katina Vamvalis be- came our leader. She made it known that gay young Sophomores could be industri- ous and proved it so at our Thanksgiving Dance. During this year many actors displayed their talents in the big show. Boys contributed to the success and the triumph of our sports activities. Music lovers participated in our student assem- blies. The Drama department was well supported by a leading cast of actors. The production of “Gooseberry Tarts” starred class- mates, Joyce Pingrey and Scott Werner. On Drama Night, we were hailed as leading participants in “Thank You Doctor.” Page 6
